1.Mussolini and Italy: Student Book (Heinemann Advanced History) by: Edward Townley April 08, 2002

This text book was recommended to me by my history teacher and it has been very useful as i have covered the 2nd yr of the Italian Unit. All the important aspects of Mussolini's dictatorship are covered well in this book, particularly the economy which i feel can be a difficult area to understand. I would definately recommend it as a course aid and a good basis for revision, it's well worth the money.

A compelling read. Basically this is a beautifully written potted history of "Il Duce," from small violent child to big violent fascist. Intelligent, mesmerising, gifted, a vicious rapist and serial womaniser, but the right man at the right time. All of these things - from peasant to leader in ten years - the world's original fascist who never quite dropped his socialist roots, and due to his ability to change direction more than once in a single day, eventually stood for nothing. Seriously, this wasn't a man ever tied by ideology, he had none. He was everything to everyone, then eventually nothing to anyone. The ultimate opportunist, when you read this you'll understand why there was only ever likely to be one outcome. This ... Read More:

Very detailed and extensively researched work. One chapter in particular I found fascinating - examining the association between the Nazi party and Classical music - obviously Richard Wagner is the most notable name-check here. Absorbing to read which composers were officially endorsed and the ones that were 'black listed' by The Third Reich. A good read for dark days.

I haven't got a great deal to say that other reviewers haven't already said. This was a good and detailed book although I had already picked up most of ideas from other sources and I think that it may have been a bit verbose in parts.

As a student studying A-Level i found Mussolini quite challenging, however as i received this book today at sixth form browsing through it this evening has made learning about the unusual dictator much easier. For someone who struggles with getting to grips of A-Level History (as i do!) this is a must read book. With key questions to help you think about relevant subjects linked to the chapters it's also able to give students a much wider outlook and extra information to put to good use in exams. I am so pleased that i received this book today, the subject seems clearer to me now due to this helpful book.

James Holland's generosity of spirit and indefatiguable labour has created one of the best general histories I've read recently--and there's a lot of stiff competition about. As well as using writen sources, Holland personally interviewed survivors from all sides of the conflict; Germans, Poles, Canadians, Britons, Americans, Italian partisans and fascists. These accounts give a vivid picture of the heroism and brutality of war, and instil a sense of sympathy for (almost) all of the participants. Their stories are skillfully blended into the larger narrative, which explains what happened, and why the major players (Alexander, Mark Clark, Kesselring, Churchill, Roosevelt, Mussolini, etc) made crucial decisions. Holland is immenently fair-minded; the controversy surrounding ... Read More:
